Quick Links - Linking to a Filtered Document Library
- I wrote a blog with something similar, but you should be able to use URL shortening tool is how I get around these for the time being.

Colin2307 I'm pretty sure that we haven't been able to pass a filter in Quick Links or the Hero web part but if you create the views you want and link directly to them, it should work fine.
Hello Susan_Hanley,
Many thanks for your prompt response. I did try creating a view and linking to that but the issue remains. The view ID gets stripped from the url (see below - ignore link formatting. I added additional spaces so you can see the entire link)
URL with View ID
https:// mysite.sharepoint.com/sites/HSEQ/Shared%20Documents/Forms/AllItems.aspx ? id=%2Fsites%2FHSEQ%2FShared%20Documents%2FPolices%2DProcedures%2DForms&useFiltersInViewXml=1&viewid=14b1c604%2D5d07%2D47c7%2Dad4f%2Dec251ffecede
How the system stores it
https:// mysite.sharepoint.com/sites/HSEQ/Shared%20Documents/Polices-Procedures-Forms
I am linking to a doc library in another site under but within the same site collection so not sure if this is an issue.
Colin2307 Probably another reason not to use subsites! :-) My next suggestion is a URL shortening service.
Hello Susan_Hanley,
Yes I agree :-). Tried the url shortening as recommended by you and Chris and it works a treat. Thank you Susan_Hanley and ChrisWebbTech very much.
Best regards,
Colin
